Making Your Baby Feel Safe And At Home

By Edie Mindell

Nothing compares to the happiness and joy that the parents feel with the arrival of their baby into their home. And because every nook and cranny in their house is a reflection of themselves,their moods and personality,the baby's room should ultimately be an expression of the delight a child brings to them.

With this in mind, contemplating on the design and decoration of your baby's room entails a lot of preparation and right choices. Below are some helpful tips to aid you in attaining a beautiful and safe baby room.

Baby-proofing the nursery room

The most important thing to consider first before decorating your baby's room, is the safety and protection of your child in his own abode. Before anything else, you have to make sure to do a thorough safety check. Inspect furniture for any sharp edges, take away toys that your child can put in his mouth, and chuck linens that can potentially cause allergies and itching. Baby-proofing should always be a top priority in any space at home.

Remember too, that while you may want your infant to stay that way forever, kids do grow up at a rapid pace. Incorporating permanent fixtures in the room can easily become dull and tiresome. It is best to consider pieces and designs that can weather the growing up years without losing their appeal to your child's eyes and taste.

Fun decor ideas

Having a nursery gives your baby her first experience at having her very own space, so you have to make sure you decorate his room with fun, attractive, and informative decors that would help in the shaping of his mind.

Don't over-decorate your baby's room, it would look stuffy and your baby may not feel very comfortable at all with the overwhelming decors around him. Use ordinary objects as decorating tools. Go for fun, flexible pieces you don't have to commit to.

You should also invest in storage made for grown-ups for flexibility purposes that could be very beneficial to the both of you. Also, you need to stay low. Meaning, you should add a row of low shelves around your baby's room to give him easy access to his things. Remember that your kid's line of sight is much lower than yours. Thus, he has a different perspective of his space. Keep his toys and books on low storage units so they're always within reach.

When it comes to bed, you don't need to buy a child-sized bed when your little one graduates from using his crib. You can opt for an adult bed, as long as you install safety rails around its perimeter. It is a good long term investment that won't have you buying new mattresses and sheets every few years. - 31376
